In the general issues section, the DPA points that the proposed law does not let to know clearly which personal data of the financial ownership file will be accessible for the competent authorities as well as which data will be excluded. In the third section, it’s pointed that the article 7.1 does not concurs with the principle of data minimization, and to solve this, a new redaction is proposed. In the same section it is mentioned the need to add that every article should remark that the share of information will be carried out with the adoption of those technical and organizational measures necessary to guarantee data security. Related to data protection section, the Authority notes an amendment to the sentence “as needed” for “when indispensable” to strengthen the exceptionality for the process of special categories of personal data. It is finally suggested another amendment remarking the individualization and the technical formation for the people who will process the data.
